Stop me if you’ve heard this story before, but the Rams benefited from the officials missing a blatant pass interference penalty. It’s obviously not the first time this has happened (see: NFC Championship Game, 2018), and fans certainly did not forget that little fact, either.
But late in the fourth quarter against the Seahawks on Tuesday night, Russell Wilson threw deep for DeeJay Dallas on fourth-and-6 with Seattle trailing 17-10. Ernest Jones was in coverage and he failed to get his head around to the football, raking his arm down on Dallas’ to cause the incompletion.
There was no flag thrown despite it clearly being a penalty, resulting in a turnover on downs – which was further helped by Dallas kicking the ball to draw an unsportsmanlike penalty.

Fans, analysts and just about everyone on Twitter had the same reaction to the no-call, ripping Shawn Hochuli’s crew from missing the blatant foul by Jones. The Rams took over and scored three points on the ensuing drive, sealing the 20-10 win.
Here are some of the best reactions on Twitter.
